@TECN1K - Yes, no kidding. I've tried degreaser in the gallon jug, degreaser in a can, and neither did jack. The ONLY thing that worked at all was brake cleaner. So, I will be going to the store to get quite a bit more of it. I'm hoping to have a lot of it cleaned up once I'm done, and then may look at getting a steam clean.

Yeah, I got the bolts and everything out of the alternator, it's disconnected and everything, but it will not "slide out" as Pelican so delicately puts it. Any hints on how to slide it out?
